Another fantastic weekend of racing happened again at the Harrison Hot Springs regatta. With 15 boats in attendance, all Hobie 18’s! there was some great racing over the weekend. With winds ranging from 15-20 on Saturday and over 20knts on Sunday, Steve Brunsden and his team managed to get 10 races done over the weekend. Everyone was tired, a few bodies were sore, but everyone was smiling when they came off the water! A big thanks to Bob Combie and Tim Dorwin for their constant efforts in making sure the course was true and fair. Thanks also to Stu Dean, Phil and Jackie Smith from Fleet 214 who helped organized the food Saturday and Sunday nights. Always a treat. And thanks to all the other volunteers both on and off the water who help make these events happen.
J and Eric were dominant in the lead winning 7 out of the 10 races, but the next 5 spots were a hard fought battle between Don, Jere, Phil, Rich and Paul. Well done all!!

Another added bit of excitement this year was the inclusion of the Waszp Class. This is a foiling monohull available to all ages, but you’d better be fairly fit to sail one! They were fun to watch as they maneuvered around the course. They had some of the best sailing they’ve seen all year and were truly grateful to be included in our event. I think we’ll be seeing them again!
